(CNSNEWS) — Because of previous news reports and now the revelations of former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe that he ordered a counterintelligence investigation of President Trump in May 2017, and that his FBI team, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, discussed secretly wire-recording the president and invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, the government watchdog Judicial Watch is suing the Justice Department.

The purpose of Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is to obtain “all written and audio/visual records of any FBI/DOJ discussions regarding the 25th Amendment and plans to secretly record President Trump in the Oval Office,” stated the organization in a press release.
